Grey Cup Roll Call

[Buck]

Who's going? Where are you sitting?  I bought on the bus ride home last night.  Section 129 for me!

[Bluehawk]

Was in Calgary...WIN!
Was in Hamilton...WIN!
And now Regina.
A touch superstitious...I have no choice....will be there.

Seats are in 116.

[lockman]

Would like to know of people sitting in Pil Country. I'm in P3 GAO.

[GOLDMEMBER]

In
No idea where we sit I?ll have my ticket Thursday
At Super 8 East
Leave Thursday morning

[TecnoGenius]

Going.  Got hotels, but no tix yet.  Watching the aftermarket... and the forecast.

They keep upping the temp but also upping the wind.  So far it's pretty steady at -15C windchill.  Right now trend is better temps (since yesterday).  If it starts to trend down again, expect more tix up for sale.  It takes a certain type to sit in colder than -15C windchill for 4 hours.

Especially when you have no horse in the race!

Just scored my tickets!  Very fair deal on StubHub so I bit.  Normally I gamble until the last minute, but my wife said "no way" this time around.     So play it safe and nice C-line tickets well below face, I can't complain.  I don't mind bailing out some SSK STH. 

Now I get to sit back, relax, and wait.  We'll all look back fondly one day at "those years we went to the GC 3 times in a row"...

[TecnoGenius]

Hey, now that it's winter, there's no longer any time difference between WPG/SSK, right?  I always get bitten by that little quirk.  And it's always important as for some reason I'm always rolling into town right before kickoff.

And what's/where's the best/safest park & ride if I'm not at one of the hotels?  One allowing an easy exit out the west side of the city would be ideal.

Yes Sask is now on Central standard time like Manitoba. DST they match mountain time. They never change clocks in the tumbleweeds. Always on standard time.

[Sec223]

Section 141 Row 3. Staying at the Travelodge and partying with GOLDMEMBER all weekend. Wish me luck

[wpg#1]

yes yes you?ll need it!

[Ridermania]

Updated game day weather report.......minus 3

Hope this heat stays for the entire week-end.

[bomb squad]

Those ticket prices are scaring me off for now. I will have to get a significant deal before I will bite.

[Freep]

My brother and I will be there. Section 147 for the game. We'll be at all the team parties and, of course, Touchdown Manitoba. Super excited that the Bombers are playing.

Hey Mania, just sent you a PM.

Hey Mania, just sent you a PM.

Just replied! 

[Tee42]

Same driving Thursday. Can?t wait. 

[Horseman]

Drive carefully guys, and remember there was a gapper who was proud of himself for going out on the highway and driving 80km/hr to slow down the Bomber fans who were driving out for the LDC. Be loud and proud!!!

The 5-0 will be out in full force I am sure. Day after the Banjo Bowl I rode by motorcycle through Regina on my way to Saskatoon and I counted 5 times cops in position with radar or had already pulled someone over. Do not push your luck.

[1chad]

I'm going, ticket in end zone somewhere, got a room at holiday inn

[Bomber_For_Life]

I'll be there - Sec 116.  Ended up staying with a Co-Worker who lives out there.

[Pigskin]

Sec 114 and Sec 113. We will be headed up on Friday morning. My Grandson who is now living and playing hockey in Sask. has a game on both Friday and Saturday night, so it will be nice to have so many family members there supporting him.

[TecnoGenius]

Those ticket prices are scaring me off for now. I will have to get a significant deal before I will bite.

Check now, I'm starting to see sub-$200 prices between the 30's!  I bought mine a day too early, oh well, I knew I'd likely miss the super cheap ones.  Sub-$200 is under half price!  The equilibrium will be found soon, whether that's now at $200 or it goes below $100.

[TecnoGenius]

I'm in 639.  Look at you guys, you're all 100-level!  Scared of the 6 flights of stairs, or is that where all the good parties are gonna happen? 

Funny, I'm basically in the mirror image of where I sit at IGF.  Love the bird's eye view.

If prices keep showing up below $200 everyone needs to get working on convincing their cheap friends to come along!

[TecnoGenius]

Radio: does CKRM or whoever have any GC day/week coverage planned on the radio?  I'm wondering if there will be anything to tune into while driving in, and then around Regina.

I really like that CKRM Riders radio lady!  But I think in the final SSK game show she said that was it for her for the year.

I think we are very close to you. Tour managers say our LDC tickets are pretty much the same as our GC tickets . That number is familiar to me.

I think it helped that ticketmaster released a bunch of tickets at regular prices.  No reason to buy second hand tickets off ticketmaster when you can at the very lest get some for face value.

[Donny C]

I upgraded my ticket to section 115 Row 2

If anyone is looking for a room Thursday - Monday at a really good rate, contact Glynis! Her handle on Twitter is @WestwoodGal

[kdmomof4]

We have 2 grey cup tickets for sale on the 50 yard line.  We are season ticket holders.  Great seats.  Section 115, Row 6, Seats 6&7.  Asking $400 per ticket.  Not looking to make money as that?s below what we paid.  If interested email me at dkdelahey@sasktel.net. Thanks. 

[gobombersgo]

I've got tix in section 117 row 23. Now I just gotta find out where I'm couch surfing.

Looking forward to seeing Toque on Saturday and as the pre-gamer on Sunday.

Safe travels to all us Bomber fans doing the drive.

LFG BOMBERS!!!

[Pigskin]

Great night at the Arena tonight. Just finished loading up a few things in the frunk. Pickup my neighbor in the morning and we are on our way.

[Lincoln Locomotive]

See you there!

wish I was going but the reality is just spending 30K on dental implants and a huge unexpected vet bill for our 2 year old Schnauzer who nearly died.   

I was lucky enough to go in 2019 and got to check one off my bucket list.....have too much fun and I'd love to be with you dyed in the wool Bomber fans this weekend.

Bomber Fans Forever!!!

I was at 2019 in calgary too since I live here. Would have gone to this one, but still dealing with some post Covid after effects. Been to several labour day weekend games in Regina though (one in the new stadium). Probably best bet for transport is the park and ride buses. Several pickup points in Regina. Taxis may be hard to come by unless you go early to the stadium.

[Ridermania]

Free bus shuttle from 27 city locations.

[Pigskin]

I like the fact that Regina has a number of Level 3 Charging stations and Swiss Chalet.

And a Carl's Jr.

Never been to Carl's, have to stop there tonight.

[barbk]

Does anyone know if you take the free shuttle from your hotel, how does the return work after the game?

[Ridermania]

https://www.greycupfestival.ca/transportation/

Return shuttles start at the beginning of the 4th quarter and run until an hour after the game.

[TecnoGenius]

And a Carl's Jr.

And Fuddruckers.

Carls is good for the price.  But I ate there 3 times during the LDC b/c Fuddruckers closed both Sunday and LD Monday, so I need something different this time!

[TecnoGenius]

Return shuttles start at the beginning of the 4th quarter and run until an hour after the game.

If you take a numbered shuttle, just go back to your number.  But the downtown loop one I took for LDC didn't have a number and no signs and I just kept walking back to where they let us off and there it was.  Just ask around, most greenie fans will know what to do.

I'm doing the Mall shuttle this time, so we'll see how that one turns out!

[Ridermania]

We have been taking the Green Line in the east end of the city along with tons of Bomber fans.

Going to take it to the game again today.

[TecnoGenius]

I'm please to say all my cajoling worked on at least 1 other fan.  A lady I know decided to go at the last minute yesterday when she found out about the cheap ticket prices.  Good for her!  I think it's going to be a big blue&gold crowd!

Leaving moosomin in a few mins, see y'all at IGF West!  May we reign supreme!

That's the one I have been taking.

[Donny C]

I don't love that the shuttle's last pick up from the stadium is 1 hour after the game. Leave little room for those staying to watch the trophy handed out.

[Pigskin]

Well got my Grandson back to his dorm room, I am sure he will take some ribbing tomorrow at school. Got into Weyburn about an hour ago. Headed for the hot tub.

We were passing by the same place around the same time then!  Garbage highways, eh?  Yikes.  I got home at 10pm, just in time to put my littlest daughter to bed: a special late night up waiting for daddy & big bro.

She got a new Gainer stuffie to take to bed, to go with her Buzz & Boomer.  Yes, we now have traitor merch in this house.  But I knew she'd love it, so I had to buy it.  When she's a bit older I'll show her how she can make believe Buzz & Boomer are beating the tar out of Gainer 

You a Weyburn-ite?  Or just visiting?

I have vivid memories from my childhood of Buzz and Boomer teaming up to absolutely destroy the Green Drop at the old stadium!

Oops, right time, wrong day.  Didn't realize the thread was idle for a whole 24 hours.  But you still didn't say what the Weyburn connection is....
